The year 2008 was momentous for Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CGH)—the journal received its first impact factor. After only 5 years of publication, CGH received a remarkable score of 5.465, debuting at a rank of eight out of 50 gastroenterology- and hepatology-related journals. This tremendous success reflects the hard work of the inaugural editorial team led by Dr Michael Camilleri and his colleagues from the Mayo Clinic.
